KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />STUDY SESSION DATE: January 13, 2020 <br />TOPIC: Ordinance 2019-012 Requested Amendments <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Direct Staff Schedule the Required Public hearing <br />LEAD STAFF: <br />Mark R. Cook <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Direct staff schedule a public hearing to consider amending Ordinance 2019-012. <br />BRIEFING SUMMARY: <br />• Ordinance 2019-012 was recently amended allowing parking fines in Hyak. <br />• It appears that the Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriffs Office have agreed to <br />further amend the Ordinance allowing an appeal to the fine imposed by the most <br />recent r --vision. <br />• PW recommends adding an additional length of no parking along East Hyak <br />Drive that currently is not included in the limits of the ordinance (MP 0.438 to <br />MP 0.569); as we move forward with the additional amendment being requested <br />by the PA's office. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Respond;ng to ongoing impacts to PW, Snoqualmie Public Utility District (SPUD) and <br />area residents from illegal parking in Hyak during winter weekends; PW prepared an <br />amendment to Kittitas County Code 10.06.050 and 10.07.060. The amendment adds a no <br />parking fine of $200 for all illegal parking in Hyak. The Ordinance references the <br />roadways contained within the Hyak road improvement district (RID). <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Hyak Drs v e :ast has been axtended approximately 692 feet since the original RID <br />supporting the joint SPUD/P'W maintenance facility. This additional length of roadway <br />should now be included along with the requested appeal language being advanced by the <br />PA's Of'ice. <br />PW has previously briefed the Board of County Commissioners on implementation issues <br />surrounding the new no parking fines. The current Snoqualmie LAMID does not allow <br />impuund cards as approved land use. PW intends on correcting this omission during the <br />2020 comprehensive code amendment process. Once amended, PW will solicit towing <br />companies for service in 2020/21 winter fully implementing the Ordinance. <br />Pagel of 3 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
